Energy‐Efficient, Sustainable Cascade Glucose Electrooxidation into Glucaric Acid

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a tandem system that efficiently converts glucose into glucaric acid while generating renewable electricity. By decoupling the oxidation process into two cascaded steps, the system achieves an overall 90% Faradaic efficiency and 80% conversion efficiency at ∼0.6 VRHE, significantly reducing energy consumption compared to traditional

Stiff to Soft: A Protein‐Based Buffer Layer for Improving the Long‐Term Performance of Microneedle Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
To enhance stability and long‐term biocompatibility of wearable microneedle sensors, a crosslinking‐recombination bovine serum albumin material is used as a buffer layer coated on microneedle sensors. This coating layer possesses a unique stiff‐to‐soft transition function balancing the mechanical stiffness desired for puncturing and soft required for ...

Heterophase fcc‐hcp‐fcc High‐Entropy Alloy Nanomaterials with Tailored Electron Divergence for Selective Ammonia Electrosynthesis

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Heterophase fcc‐hcp‐fcc RuFeMMnMo (M═CoNi, Co, and Ni) high‐entropy alloy nanomaterials have been successfully synthesized using a one‐pot approach. The highly random distribution of multiple metal components and the tunable diversity of metal atomic arrangements can be realized simultaneously. By combining metals with different work functions, fcc‐hcp‐
